When you deploy an artifact with 'SNAPSHOT' in the version number, Maven will deploy a timestamped version along with metadata. Then other projects can depend on a snapshot of MyFaces, and Maven will take care of retrieving the latest available snapshot. (M2 is much better at this, I think it only checks for new snapshots at intervals rather than every time you build.) Must have been in another thread, but I think someone asked about Cactus tests. Vincent Massol just released the m2 Cargo plugin (for container manipulation) and I hope that a Maven 2 Cactus plugin is not far behind. He has mentioned some workarounds for running tests on the maven lists. -- Wendy
